Grab your luggage, exit the arrivals hall at Dire Dawa Airport (DIR-Aba Tenna Dejazmach Yilma), and collect your rental car. Which one you hop into depends on what your travel itinerary looks like. If you’ll be mainly driving in downtown Dire Dawa, around 2 miles from the terminal, select something zippy. A compact car with good handling will be perfect for those busy city streets. But with a wealth of things to see, like the striking savannahs of the surrounding area, you’ll probably be racking up a few miles. A larger vehicle, like an SUV or a full-size car, will make longer road trips a pleasure.
